More than $2.2 billion will be awarded to projects in 18 states to strengthen the electrical grid against increasing extreme weather, add renewable power and meet a growing demand for electricity for manufacturing and data centers, the Department of Energy announced Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2024.
“They’ll help us to meet the needs of electrified homes and businesses and new manufacturing facilities and all of these growing data centers that are placing demands on the grid,” Granholm said in a press call to announce the funding. The Montana Department of Commerce will get $700 million. Most of it will go toward building a 415-mile, high-voltage, direct current transmission line across Montana and North Dakota. The North Plains Connector will increase the ability to move electricity from east to west and vice versa, and help protect against extreme weather and power disruptions.
